Seatbelt Handover/Extender Spring Failure, Fix??
The spring on the end of the seatbelt extender mechanism has failed. It doesn't have the same tension as the passenger side and doesn't grab the seatbelt anymore. I'm on the CPO warranty so I'm sure its not covered, I can delete it but I would like to fix it if I could. Has anyone taken apart the arm? Fixed the spring?

If the mechanism is shot, I think you can get to it from the back of the panel and get a replacement part.

Common problem on the e92..I believe you have to replace either the entire motor or the extender, no individual parts are available

And replace it with what? As I said there are no individual pieces available..I suppose you could try and "fix" the spring..but I wouldnt count on that working..especially if the spring has lost its tensile strenght.

I am pretty sure this is still covered under CPO Warranty

Whoever was on the design team for this ridiculous thing should have their engineering degrees stripped. I wonder if they even bothered making a test stand for this before they slapped it into production.
(Also, I checked on mine, not covered under CPO). |

http://www.leespring.com/ Having said all that, unless the spring is somehow damaged, it's unlikely to be worn out. |

Just to chirp in...
Happened on my e93, only the belt would not extend out. Without being buckled a passanger sets off the seat belt alarm. Drive ya nuts! So, no passangers till BMW ordered the part (under warranty) and replaced it. Took about a week. |

This is why I pulled the fuse for this stupid thing. I'll deal with having to reach really far back to grab the seatbelt. I'm used to it now.

Do you happen to have the part numbers for the extender arm? Maybe it might be something the dealerships locally can order if we spoon feed them. |

It's actually an $80 part and a 5 minute DYI. All the info and the part you need are here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...ght=ricfutures
Kit comes with a thin metal "flap" (lack of a better term) that helps you remove the old one. You just need to find the clip that holds it in place. Also, you don't need to remove the mechanism from the car to perform surgery. Simply turn off the car, open your door, hold the arm preventing it from retracting until it stays put. Replace then turn the car on. Arm should retract once you close the door. As over engineered as this thing is I love having it.

Has anyone actually had this replaced under CPO warranty? Was at the dealer today for an oil change and asked about it and they said it wasn't covered and wanted $135 just for a diagnostic. Others have said it should be covered though. I don't really see why it would be excluded, unless they consider it a wear and tear piece.
